Jackfruit Asada Tacos and a Disco Ball in Brickell

All are welcome at Crate, the new vegetarian restaurant and lounge (that old combo) that’s now open in
Brickell
and looks like this.

Before 11, this place appears innocent enough. Diners dine on the front patio beneath large umbrellas,
taking in the Brickell-y atmosphere of it all. Inside, off-white brick walls, cream banquettes and vintage
couches give the space a retro feel.

A chandelier made of olive oil bottles will hang above you and that date as you venture off to a quiet
corner, where you’ll decide between things like jackfruit asada tacos and the Hula Burger made from mung beans and brown rice, served alongside
grilled pineapple and caramelized onions.

But eventually the clock will strike 11. The curtains will close and a disco ball will drop from the
ceiling. With the realization that they’re open until 4am Thursday through Saturday, you’ll order a
round of jalapeño coconut margaritas as a DJ takes to the makeshift stage, which happens to be a 1700s Ming
Dynasty table.
